The Political Reform Act, Government Code Section 81000, et seq. requires state and local government agencies to adopt and promulgate conflict of interest codes. The Fair Political Practices Commission has adopted a regulation, 2 California Code of Regulations Section 18730, which contains the terms of a standard conflict of interest code. It can be incorporated by reference and may be amended by the Fair Political Practices Commission after public notice and hearings to conform to amendments in the Political Reform Act. Therefore, the terms of 2 California Code of Regulations Section 18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission are incorporated by reference and, along with Appendix A, set out at the end of this chapter, in which employees, members and consultants are designated, and Appendix B, set out at the end of this chapter, in which disclosure categories are set forth, constitute the conflict of interest code of the city.
This conflict of interest code of the city so adopted replaces any conflict of interest code the city previously had in effect. (Ord. 11562 § 1, 1993)

Designated employees, members and consultants shall file statements of economic interests with the Oakland City Clerk, who shall be and perform the duties of filing officer for the city. (Ord. 11562 § 2, 1993)

The effective date of this conflict of interest code and the appendices attached hereto shall be April 1, 1993. The initial disclosure statements to be filed under this code shall be filed by April 30, 1993, and thereafter, the annual statements shall be due for filing by April 1st of each year. (Ord. 11562 § 3, 1993)
